4 To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE VVILsoN Dup- LE1, citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Staunton, August-a county. Virginia, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Recording and Adding Machines, ofwhich the 'followlng is a specification.

The present invention relates to machines employed in banks andmercantile establishments for facilitating listing, tabulating andcomputing, and the principal objects are (1) 'toprovide forautomatically alternating adjustments so that a predetermined number ofentries can be made in one order as from left to right along ahorizontal line and then in another order o putation at any time.

as from top to bottom in a vertical line; '(2) to provide foraccumulating numerical items to show totals of certain rows or series ofentries and not others. Thus the in vention provides for producing sucha table as for example one comprising a vertical row of figuresrepresenting the numbers of.

checks and a parallel row of figures representing the amounts of thechecks, and

there will. be no accun'iulation or addition of the numbers of'thechecks (which would be footless) but there will be an accumulation ofthe amounts of. the checks so that a total can be had thrcmgh mechanicalcomlt will be at once apparent that the field in which a 'inachinehaving such capabilities would be useful, is a Very extensive one, anditis sufliciently obvious without multiplying specific examples, that agreat variety of work falls within the. possibilities of a machine ofthis character.

1 Of course the adding machine per seis today a familiar thing and itscapabilities for printing lists of numbers and footing up totals wellunderstood. the lateral shifting of the work-support or Furthermorepaper carriage in such machines to provide for listing in multiplecolumns is well know'n. Neither isit new in a tabulating machine toautomatically shift the paper carriage -laterally with each operation ofthe machine. so as to successively print numbers in a horizontal row,repeating this order of procedure so as to produce parallel verticalrows or columns. 'As an improvement in listing or tabulating machineswithout necessarily .inc'luding the adding .feature the presentinvention advances the art by providing for predetermining through"automatic means the number of changes of i v Specification of LettersPatent.

relative adjustment between the work and the marking means (6. g.lateral shifts of the paper carriage) which shall take place before achange in relative adjustment in the other'direction as by line-spacing,and

for the latter change ensuing automatically. The invention also providesfor an automatic restoration to normal in the transverse relativeadjustment of the work and the marking means 'as by reverse lateralshifting of the paper carriage. This will be seen to greatly facilitatetabulation as compared with the workings of machines requiring separatemanual operations to change the order or directionof shift at anycertain point. an improvement upon tabulating adding machines thepresent invention provides for automatically eliminating the addingfunction under predetermined relative adjustments of the work and themarking means as for instance Letters Patent of the United States#712,777 dated Nov. 4th 1902.

' The inventionis capable of embodiment in. conjunction with varioustypes oftabulating and adding machines. I

As this machine in its general form is similar to that disclosed in thepatent men- 'tioned, it will not be necessary to describe the sameheiein and it is thought suliicient to point out the following partsbearing the same reference letters as in the patent in order that ageneral understanding of machine may be obtained:

1 are 'the printing disks,.1 the adding disks, 7 the selectors for theprintingdisks; 5 1

7 the selectors for the adding disks, 165 isthe pin drum controllingthecarrying mech- Fig. 5 an elevation of the anism of the edding mechanism,7 2 the op crating handle, 69 the master wheel, 16 the rack barcommunicating movement'- from the universal bar 21 to the selectors, and132 the clutch by which the adding mechanism may be connected to ordisconnected from operative connection with the said rack.

Proceet'ling now with .the description of the present machine: Thecarriage has a bar 3 slidable in a channel bard fixed to the trame. andsaid carriage is adapted also to rock forward for making the impressionupon the paper. The bar 3 in the present invention is provided with rackteeth 1 engaged by a gear 2 Figs. 1, 4 and 5 fixed on a shalt 5journalcd in bearings 6 of the frame. The shaft carries a bevel pinion 7meshing with a pair of bevel gears 8 and 9 fixed to gears 10 and 11 inturn fixed to their respective shafts 12 and 13 independently journaledin parts of the frame. These gears 10 and 11am to be actuatedalternatelyby segn'ients 11 and 15 Fig. 1 on a sleeve 16" splint-d to asleeve 23 on the shaft 18 which shaft through the gearing 19, Q0

- and 21, is connected with the operating handle 72 and rocks forwardand badkward therewith. The shaft 18 is connected by a clutch 1S Figs. 1and 15- with the pin drum loose on the shaft 18 so that the said pindrum will partake of only the forward movement of the shaft and as saidpin drum has the sleeve fixed rigidly thereto said sleeve together withthe sleeve 16? and its segmental gears 1-1 15 will make a one halfrevolution forward each time the hand lever moves to the rear and ifsaid sleeve 1G has then been set by hand as will be hereinafterdescribed, so that its segments are inline with the gears 10 and 11 itwill be seen-that, these segments have their teeth displacedcircumferentially in relation to each other, when the handle makes onecomplete. oscillating movement one of the segments on the return of thesaid handle will turn the gear 11 and this through the bevel gear 9pinion- 7" and gear wheel 2* will move the paper carriage from right toleft and on the next complete forward and backward operation of thehandle and while the handle is inoving back to normal position the firstsegment will be out of mesh with the gear and the. other segment 11 willoperate its gear 10 and through the gearing'mentioned above the papercarriage will be moved from left to right.

It will be understood that the printing is done on the forward stroke ofthe handle from its normal position of rest and starting the handle thepaper carriage is swung forward to make the impression against the type,andthe carriage being at its right hand position the printing will bedone at theleft hand side of the paper strip or sheet. Now uponreleasing the handle and allowing the same to move back to its normalposition the gearing above described will shlft the carriage to the leftand the next printing action will take place at the right hand side ofthe paper or strip and in line horizontally with the impression justmade at the left hand side. \Ve will suppose the number printed at theleft represents the number of the check, bill, cargo, etc. while that atthe-right represents the amount of the said check etc. These companionnumbers will be in line with each other across the page. For thispurpose, 2'. 6., printing the amount in line with the check numl'ir Iprovide means for throwing out of operation the paper feed pawl 130,Figs: 4 and 6 when the number representing the amount is to be printedand this consists of a cam plate 27 Figs. 2, G and 16 secured to thecarriage and arranged to strike the paper feed pawl 130 when thecarriage is shifted to the left for printin the amount, said cam platepushing and ho ding the pawl out of engagement with the paper teedratchet wheel 129. It will be understood that the paper feed takes placeon the forward "stroke ofthe hand lever and just previous to the contactof the paper with the. type but in printing the amounts there will be nopaper feed owing to the cam holding the pawl out oiline with theratchet, and said feed will not take place until the carriage is shiftedto the right again and the nextcheck number is about to be printed, thismovement releasing the pawl from the cam plate. The cam plate is pivotedat 30 to the carriage and may be held either in or outof operativeposition by a nut 31. The means for operating the paper feed pawl 130will be described hereinafter.

In the printing of the'check numbers itis necessary of course to preventthe o )eration ofthe adding mechanism and for t iis purpose I provideautomatically operating means for throwing out of operation the addingmechanism whenever a check number or the like is printed, said meansautomatically throwing the adding mechanism into action when a numberrepresenting an amount or a number forming part of the computation is tobe printed. This mechanism is as follows: As fully described in thepatent aforesaid the movement from the keys is imparted through auniversal bar 24 and a rack bar 16 to a sleeve carrying the selectors ofthe printing mechanism and a clutch 132 Fig. .1 imparts the revolutionofthe sleeve 36 to a shaft'35 upon which the selectors of the addingdisks are located and by shifting the said clutch the, adding mech- (d'hmgitndinally in either direction.

a When the "m anual I seem will be left inoperative.- operate. ing theclutch automaticallylprovideanv arm 37 Fig. 1 engaging acircumferential.

groove therein, sa d arm being on a sliding her 37 supported in a frameand engaged at 38 by a fork 39 fixed on a rock shaft 40 journaled in theframe, said rock shafthaving an arm 41 engaged detachably bya link 42extending to a cam 43 on the shaft .51 Figs.

4 and 12. This cam is rocked one way for each return movement of thehandle lever so that for one half the time the clutch is out ofengagement and for the other half it is in engagement, it being out ofengagement while the check numbers are being printed and in engagementwhen the amounts are printed. x

The cam is shown in detail in Fig. 12, it having afiat side 43* engaginga fiat part of thelink 42. The machine may be set for printing andadding the amounts continuously, a, without printing also the checknumbers and for thisspurpose the sleeve 16 may be shifted to carry itssegments out of line with the gears 10, 11 which operate the carriage.To dothis I employ a rock shaft 44 suitably journaled and having a fork45 Figs. 1 and 8 engaging the sleeve 16 to shift it toward the right'and now when the handle is operated and the shaft 18 turns the sleevesimply rotates idly. The rock shaft is operated a suitable key engagingthe square on .of the shaft, and said rock shaft may be held in eitherposition to which it may have been shifted by a spring detent 45* havinga pinengaging a fork 46011 the shaft, Figs. 1, 8

and When this shifting is ,done it is necessary also :to disconnect theclutch kit) .ply by detaching the link 42 from the arm 41, saidlinkbeing slotted at 42* throw-out mechanism and this is done simpressingthe arm 41 to the left Fig.4 the large part of the slot will comeopposite thepin 42 for its tree removal therefrom, 7 then the pin-mayrest in the notch 42 hieh adjustment the link 42 is out of op.

nature of antomatic devices. In addition tomeans of the key above descrithese have provided manual operating means by which the-carriage may beshifted shifting means is to be the sleeve 16* with its segmental racksor shifted to the ri ht Fig. 1 by bed applied to so that-by arses h s,power to the carriage is nowperformed by the gear 11,, with which "ummanually 5a, erated connections are assoclated as w l I now bedescribed. These, connections hensist Figsfl, 5 and ,9 ijournaled inbearingsj50, j said shaft carrying an arin 51 connected by. a link 52with a pawl Figs.f1,.3 and 10 pivoted at 54 to a pawl carrier or rocker,arm 55 looseon theshaft 13 which carries the gear 11 as beforedescribed; Thepawl has two arms to separately engage the ratchet wheel56 fixed on the said shaft but normally the pawl is heldout ofenfgagement with the ratchet by two springs 57 engaging the oppositesidesot thepin 58 7 of the pawl, said springs being seated in; J notches59 in the pawl rocker or carrier;

When the handle 48 is moved in either dif rection the first action willbe to tip the pawl into engagement with the. ratchet, the

spring 57 on that side tinned movement of the handle and link. will thenmove the pawl with its rockerand the pawl bein yielding and theco'n-I'now 1n engagement with the s ratchet the s aft 13 will be turned andthrough the 'gear ll inion'l' and 'gear Q the 'carriageiwill he s iftedand this. shifting movement: ay. take place in either;

direction the action of the pawl being pre cisely the same whetherthefinger lever is i moved in one direction or the other.., It" will benoticed that the link 52 connects with the pawl above its pivot and. sotips' t the pawl to engage with the ratchet when moved either way. andfinger lever to normal position I 6111.

For returning the pawl ploy a spring 59 coiled in a drum 6O loose i on asleeve 1, Fig. 3 which is loose on the, shaft 13. The drum and thesleeve fihave' each an arm 62, .63 respectively, that onthe drum bearingon the under side of'apirn 64. of a standard 65 fixed to the frame whilethe arm 63 on the'sleeve is fin contact with, the upper side of the saidfixed pin. 7 One "end of the spring is connected to the drum H and theother-end to the sleeve, the tendency I,

of which is to keep'the arms pressed against the fixed pin. The pawlrocker has an arr-n 66 provided with a pin.67 extending in between thespring pressed. arms 62, 63; so that whetherthe pawl rocker is moved oneway or the other its pin will encounter'one of;

the ,spring pressed arms and will be" re-,

turned'thereby to normal position immedi- H ately the finger lever'isreleased. ,In the] action just described when either arm 6201f 63 ismoved by the pawl rocker the. other arm isheld by the pin 64 andconsequently one end of the spring is held firmly in position while theother end moves with the other arm andin relaxing returns it to nor-In.&l.POSll)10I1. This arrangement of oppositely pressed epring arms andthe fixed pin ise 'once upon the niovement of the cam.

serves to return and hold. the pawl in its central disengaged position.A collar 68 fixed on the shaft 13 serves to hold the drum in properposition on the said shaft. By the finger lever 48 the carriage may beshifted step by stepfrom side to side.

In order to hold the carriage and connect ed mechanism in any positionto which it may have been moved I employ a detent 69 fixed on a shaft 70journaled in bearings 71 and connected by an arm 72 with a link 73having an eccentric strap 74 acted on by a gear 2* and this throwing outaction takes place during the time the pawl 53 is being set intoengagement with the ratchet ,wheel for shifting the carriage. The cam 75has a flat side engaging a fiat or straight part of the strap and thelink 73 will be moved 2X spring 76 keeps the strap in close contact withthe cam; The detent 69 is held in en gagement by a spring 77 on theshaft 70, one end being fixed to the bearing 71 and the other end. fixedto an arm 78 on the shaft. This detent is automatically thrown out ofmesh when the carriage is shifted automatically inthe printing andadding operations and for this purpose I place a cam 79 Figs. 1, 5 and 8on the pin drum sleeve and a lever 7 8 loose on the shaft 70 engagesthis cam. The lever engages a pin 80 on the arm 78 fixed to the detentshaft 70 and when the lever rides up a high part 81 of the cam, therewhen the shaft 70 is turned by the cam for the automatic release of thedetent 69".

\Vhen the automatic connections are set for operation, 1'. 0., with thesegment sleeve to the left, it is necessary to lock the manuallyoperated connections and for this purpose the setting shaft 44 Figs. 1,4, 8 and 9 is connected by an arm 82 'with a locking bar 83 which passesthrough the bearing 83 and engages a forked arm 84 Fig. 9 thus lockingthe finger lever and connections controlled thereby. VVhen the automaticdevices are disengaged by shifting the segment sleeve to the right thesame action withdraws the lock of the manual operating con nections.

Of course it will be clearthat the listing of the amounts and the addingoperations may go on without shifting the carriage when for instance itis not desired to put down the check numbers opposite the amounts, andin this case the detent 69" holds the carriage in any position to whichit may have been set to print the amounts in the column desired.

- In order that the carriage may be set in the proper positionwlr'en thesleeve 16 is set for the automatic operation, I provide a pointer on ashaft 86 geared to the pin drum sleeve as at 87 to turn in unisontherewith and with the segments. The position of the pointer in Fig.tindicates that if the sleeve is shifted to the left to make thesegments aline with the gears 10 and 11 the carriage ought at this timeto be at its extreme left hand position for the next operation willimpart such a movement to the gear 2* through the gear 10 as to shiftthe carriage to the right. 4

In my present machine instead of con-- necting the operating hand leverto the masster wheel 69 as in the patent above referred to, I fix itupon a shaft 89 journaled in bearings 90 and passing through a drum 91con taining a spring92 one end of which is attached to the drum and. theother end to the shaft. The drum is held in a yoke or frame 93 and ithas teeth M engaging a worm J5 on a shaft 96 journaled in the uprightsof the said yoke. The said worm also acts to hold the drum in the yoke.The uprights of the yoke are grooved on their inner sides Fig. 14 toreceive the teeth of the drum, which construction also serves to holdthe drum in proper "position within the yoke. Said drum has enlargedopenings 90 Fig. 4 through which the shaft passes and said drumsupported in the yoke entirely independent of the shaft. The shaft hasthe gear 21 thereon meshing with the gear 2t.- on the shaft 18 and saidshaft has a gear 19 meshing with the master wheel 69 through which thedetentmechanism and the selector carriage mechanism are operated, as inthe former patent. In the present instance the spring in the drum actsto return. the hand lever to its rearinost limit/and when the automaticconnections to the carriage are set the said spring acts to shift thecarriage longitudinally.

The paper carriage comprises end frames 99 connected by a plate 100which has connected thereto the pivot bar 3 adapted to both turn andslide in the track or way 4 of tubular form which is slotted on itsupper side for the passage of the web 101 connecting the said pivot barwith the saidplate 100. The track or way is rigidly supported by thefixed standards 102 extending up from the base frame. The end frames ofthe carriage are also connected by a bar 103 which; passes looselythrough operating bars rock-shaft 150, and when the finger lever ispressed the wing will move all of the carrying'pawls out of connectionand the adding disks may then be reset by turning the knob 66 on. theshaft of the adding disks.

In order to free the addingdisks, it is neces- 'Sary to withdraw thedetents 67' from connection with the gear trains and for this purpose Imake a connection between the wing shaft 62 and the master wheel so thatwhen the carrying pawls 61 are thrown out 'ofacti'on by pressing thefinger lever 146 the same operation will throw out the detent 6 7 andthus free the adding disks for the resetting 11Ci3l011,1th8 said detentbeing an .ranged in the same relation to the adding and printing trainsas is shown in the patent mentioned and operatedfrom the master wheel ina similar manner to that shown in said patent. This connection to themaster wheel consists of the link 151 having a collar 152 to operate thearm 153 on the shaft 89 so that through the gearingfll, 20 and 19 themaster wheel will be operated whenever lever 146 is pressed and thismaster wheel through its connection with the deten-ts 67' will .throwthe same out of operation to free the adding disks for the resettingaction to zero. The connection mentioned consists of the gear 68*Fig. 1the cam 83*, Fig. 1 arm 81 and the shaft 80*, carrying the detents,similar numerals without the exponent m being used to designate likeparts in the patent mentioned.

It will be understood that the term automatic. refers to the action ofthe carriage which is derived through mechanism acting to move thecarriage in a certain sequence. or order in relation to the operation ofthe other elements'and in this respect it is distinguished from thereciprocating movement of the carriage which is derived throughconnections designed to efiect the adjustment of the carriage. In thepresent embodiment of this part of my invention the automatic action isderived throughconnections extending from the operating handle 72, but Ido not wish to limit myself in this regard, and the hand operatingconnection in the present instance consists ot the finger lever 48 andthe devices between the same.

and the carriage and in this respect also I do not wish to limit myself.Theautomatic action might be obtained through other connect-ionsandlikewise the hand operating connection might be differently arranged.
